I was very lucky while in Paris to meet up with
Kwarkito - his blog is my favourite, with very insightful and poetic posts on a range of topics. Often very beautifully sad on memory and life, often with gorgeous photography. It was lovely to put a person to the words, and we had much to discuss (fortunately we did not need to rely on my terrible, long forgotten French.).
He kindly took me on a little tour of the 5th, and I'm sure I drove him crazy with my endless snapping! But there was so much wonderful art.
It is always lovely to flesh out the blogger we know so well through their words with an actual person. Especially as all the bloggers I knew through the blogger brunches or the travel bloggers meet ups have gone. Funnily in recent years I have met more bloggers from Europe than I have from Australia! (Though my readership is more overseas these days so maybe that makes sense?)
As I mentioned in
this post, history is everywhere in Paris - you just need to look. This little restaurant was the home of Hemingway's studio which they proudly show with a small picture in the window. It was also where the poet Paul Verlaine died in 1896, thus the name.
This is just the start of our walk, there is so much more to come.
I did want to say thank you to Kwarkito for giving up his Sunday (Monday?) morning and taking time to meet with me. I really enjoyed it.
